**********

Hailey spent the day with my mom and when she came home I asked her if she had fun.  She said, “Any day with Grandma is a fun day.”

**********

We’re getting ready to go on our annual trip to Disney World, so the other day I asked Hailey, “What are you most looking forward to about Disney World?”  She responded, “Going.”

**********

The other night Hailey was watching TV when something came on that I didn’t want her to watch. I told her we needed to change the channel to something more kid-appropriate. She said, “MOM, you are RUINING my life!!”

Instead of saying “Just so you know” Hailey says “Just for you know…”

**********

Hailey pronounces together “to-gell-er”

**********

The other day I squeezed Hailey’s knee and she giggled, so I told her that if her knees are ticklish it means she likes the boys. She said, “Well mom, that is true. I DO like the boys.”

**********

I have to tell Hailey to be quiet while I feed Hunter or he looks for her and won’t eat.  So when I tell her that, she asks a bunch of questions like: “What if there is a fire? or if I’m bleeding? or if I get sick? or I see a stranger?”

**********

Instead of saying something is in a different language, Hailey always says it is in different English.

**********

The other night while I was feeding Hunter, Hailey came out to me and whispered, “I did something bad.” (She always tells on herself!) When I asked her what she had done she told me she had written on her drawer. So I went in her room to see the damage… on the front of her dresser she had written, “I like you Mom and Dad.”

**********

The other day Hailey came in Hunter’s room while I was rocking him and said, “I was crawling down the hall with my tongue out and I don’t know how it happened but I accidentally licked the wall.”  The she put both hands over her mouth like she just couldn’t believe that it had happened.

With their dad standing right there Hailey replied:

“NO, MY MOM SAYS YOU’RE TOO WILD!!”

**********

Hailey came home from school and told me that she had a substitute for the day.  She said the substitute was old and had curly skin.
